Re: What's the latest thinking of the best two or threeweb development languages/environ... -- WEB400

This looks like a simple version of what I did with HTML, javascript, asp calling IBM i stored procedures or sending the SQL to DB2/400.

Thanks,

Dave

HTML

<body>
<h1>AS/400 Web Form</h1>
<form action="as400pgm" method="post">
Code: <input type="text" name="hCustCode" maxlength="10" size="10" />
Action: <input type="text" name="hCustAction" maxlength="30" size="30"
/>
<br><button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>
</body>

RPG PSEUDOCODE

Read "input" fields (one line) from the html form
Read CUST file using field hCustCode as key
Make the action in hCustAction html field
read the html page to show
sends the page
end program

no learning, no java, no was, no bad performance, and the really standard in
the web is html (well with a little help of css and js)

Dave,

if you know RPG and (a little at least) html.css.js, and you have plans for
stay in the as400 plattform.... why asking for any more?

RPG or RPG+SQL in the host
HTML+CSS (+ some JS) in the client side

all into your control; call programs, dtaara, dtaq, CL, commands, ovrdbf,
CPF control, and so on, nothing new under the sun.

for creating web pages that access DB2/400 for SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and
DELETE operations? I'm talking about basic web development from scratch,
not calling RPG, nor screen scraping existing Display Files; fresh web
development. The beginning web pages will be simple, no fancy presentation
for awhile. I'd like to store the web objects on the i but that may no
longer be the best place.

I'd like to use what is in our current IBM i or MickySoft environment, not
buy some new development tool, if at all possible. I'm used to working in
HTML, ASP, javascript and the like. I wouldn't mind Using WebSphere, as we
have it, but fear the learning curve might be too long. Opinions please.

Thank you,
